Spotting The Signs Of A Failing Tap Or Outlet

A tap that drips overnight might seem minor, but a worn washer or failing cartridge can waste a surprising amount of water and push your bill higher month after month. Left unattended, a leaking mixer tap can also damage cabinetry, timber flooring or the wall cavity behind a shower, turning a simple repair into a much larger job.

Stiff or hard-to-turn taps are often an early sign of a seized spindle, worn washer or mineral build-up inside the fitting, particularly in Hawthorne's older homes with ageing tapware. Outdoor taps and laundry mixers face their own challenges too, with constant use, weather exposure and hard water causing hose cocks and isolation valves to weep or fail over time.

If you've spotted water marks near a vanity, a tap that won't fully shut off, or an outlet that's suddenly lost pressure, it's worth having it assessed before the issue spreads. Our plumbers can quickly diagnose whether you're dealing with a simple washer replacement or a more involved cartridge or valve repair.
